It’s fitting. My writing space is a cave. My name is Batz, so Bat-Cave? Batz-Cave? More like “Slack-Cave”, most days. Yeah, I procrastinate, and I know it doesn’t make me special. We all do it. Excuses on tap, at the ready, all day. So the prospect of starting a website, a website with an actual blog where I’m supposed to be updating and adding content is hella daunting. Not because I think I can’t do it, but because … well … procrasti-effin-nation.

So full … full disclosure: I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to site hosting. I like to write. I like to spend my free time working on my projects. When I get in deep, I tend to block everything else out. I don’t like schedules and timelines … maybe no one likes those things, but some people can navigate them without wanting to punch holes in walls. I’m not one of them. I like my zone—turn off the phone, go offline and just open a word doc and try to tap the keys. Hopefully my brain is along for the ride. If not, it gets pretty interesting but not all that marketable. All that to say, I really want this website to be interesting and marketable and all that, but I’m gonna be learning a lot of this sh*t on the fly. Should be fun.

So hopefully, if you’re on my site, you already know I’m a writer. You know I have a few books out, (Second Dawn, OBEY: Second Dawn Book II, Dismembered, ect …), and you’re just looking around to see if there’s anything else going on with the dude. Or you clicked on something by mistake and got routed here by the internet demons. Either way, feel free to hang out, bookmark and chill. I also post reviews, and updates on my work, or shorts. Aside from that, I can be pretty random, so don’t be surprised by the randomness or the general anarchy.

So for now, this is where we are. This is the introductory post. One down (that wasn’t so hard). Truth be told, after finishing my first book, I was planning to launch a site, but then I thought, “who launches a site with only one book out?”. So I said I’d wait until I’d finished the second book in the “Second Dawn” trilogy. Little did I know that the second book would take damn near four years to write (sigh). But a deal’s a deal. This is what authors do. I’m an author. So this is what I’m doing—sharing thoughts from the cave whenever I have some thoughts to share. Plus, I hear that sometimes, people like to know a little about the authors they read, so … please read me and I guess I’ll hold up my end of the deal with some content and stuff.

Deal?

Deal.

So again, “Welcome to the Cave”.

It’s fitting.
